Early life[]

Notable Indian writer P. N. Oak, famous for his Hindu-centric brand of historical revisionism, was Shashikant's uncle.[1]

Spiritual Gurus[]

Shashikant's parents were the followers of Swami Pradyananand Saraswati, who has translated the great epic "Shri Ram Charit Manas" from Hindi into Marathi. Shashikant had a long lasting impact of this family Guru upon his personality and he also got initiated into spirituality by the grace of the Guru.[2]

In his childhood he got initiated Om Namah Shivaya Mantra by one Gokhale Guruji, which made him go through some lifetime mystical experiences. The experiences were later written down by Shashikant in form of a novel, titled "Andhaar Chhaya".[3]

Shashikant was destined to meet another spiritual Guru, called Yogi Ramsuratkumar in Thiruvannamalai.[4] Much later, he met Chitale Baba, who is known for mastery on the supernatural powers. As per Chitale Baba's instructions, Shashikant went to the Himalayas.[5]

Later he went to Seth Ratilal Vitthaldas Gosalia High School in Madhavnagar.[6] After passing SSC with ordinary marks, he graduated from Chintamanrao College of Commerce, Sangli. He joined the Indian Air Force while studying in the 1st year of M.Com.[1]

He retired from the Indian Air Force as Wing Commander.[8]

Research On Nadi Astrology[]

While posted in Tambaram Shashikant accidentally got introduced to Nadi astrology.[9] Initially he disbelieved it, and examined the evidences by getting the text on the palm leaves read by experts.[10] To conduct the original research, he has visited almost all the Nadi centres in India during last many years, apart from individually meeting a thousands of persons to take on account the firsthand experiences.[4] He also initiated preparing a dictionary of ancient Tamil words which appear in the Nadi palm leaves.[11] He also studied the claims of the rationalists and explored the possibilities of any substantiation in it.[12] Over the past few years he has been instrumental in bringing out the subject to the notice of international researchers.[13]

Writing career[]

Upon much research in Nadi Astrology and considering the statistics of accuracy in the Nadi predictions, Shashikant arrived to certain conclusions which he has written down in his famous book, Nadi Predictions.[14][15] His first book on the same topic in Marathi was published in 1994.[16] He also presented a detailed paper called 'Comparative Study: Nostradamus and Nadi Granthas.' Shashikant mainly writes in Marathi, but has also written in Hindi and English, occasionally. Apart from writing several research oriented books and detailed articles in various languages; he also writes on various blog sites, and internet forums.[17][18][19]
